It all depends on what people have brought in and sold to the store. In regard to comics, on occasion I have found some hidden treasure there. It is a decent place to check out if you are trying to hunt down some back issues, though they may not necessarily have what you are looking for. Most of their comic issues go for $3 and under which is some cases can be a pretty good deal for older issues. Their trades and graphic novels typically go for approximately half the retail price. The only problem is, they don't tend to pay much attention to the condition of the comics they sell, so in some cases you may end up paying more than the book is worth if you don't check to see what it is going for online.

They also sell movies, cds, vinyls and stuff along those lines.

The one that is near my house has pretty good service overall. Basically what you would expect from a typical book store.

That sounds like the BMV bookstore chain in Toronto. 40% off US cover but they sell a lot of remaindered stuff usually. They also get shipments direct from Diamond now and they retail cheaper than Amazon.

Absolute All-Star Superman - Simply put, this is absolutely one of the best Superman stories of all time. The art is gorgeous and Morrison contains a lot of his higher concept ideas within this story perfectly. If I had a complaint, it would be that I preferred the ending to the animated movie to the ending of the actual book.

So Superman doesn't live forever in the sun? I thought that was a beautiful ending.

Sounds like I would have to actually go to the store and select books in near mint condition. Thank you for the information.

Actually that still happens and I agree, it was a beautiful ending. I just made it seem more complicated than it really was. The only real difference between the book ending and the movie ending is who comes up with the DNA solution and how they apply it. I just prefer the movie solution to the book solutions.
